TGIF! Welcome to Huddle, the play-by-play guide to all things Capitol Hill, on this Friday, October 14, where we're wishing the Senate's unofficial photographer a speedy recovery. HUDDLE'S WEEKLY MOST CLICKED: Most clicked since last week was the Detroit News story: Rep. Stevens, husband getting divorced after year of marriage. A close second for clicks was Sen. Joe Manchin's (D-W.Va.) dispatch from Utah where he visited Arches National Park with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and both of their wives. 'I'M GOING TO PUNCH HIM OUT' — New footage aired on CNN last night of previously unseen scenes from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) being told that Trump wasn't coming to the Capitol, but that he could change his mind. "If he comes, I'm going to punch him out. I've been waiting for this. For trespassing on the Capitol grounds, I'm going to punch him out. And I'm going to go to jail, and I'm going to be happy," Pelosi said in her office, in footage shot by her documentary filmmaker daughter Alexandra Pelosi. Reconstituting Congress: The footage shows more in-depth consideration of reconvening Congress off-site than had previously been known to the public. "We're at Fort McNair, which has facilities for the House and the Senate to meet, as a backup plan … should anything happen that would warrant that," Pelosi told Vice President Mike Pence in a phone call on Jan. 6. "We'd rather go to the Capitol and do it there, but it doesn't seem to be safe." "I worry about you being in that Capitol room," Pelosi tells Pence. "Don't let anybody know where you are." TRUMP SUBPOENA — The Jan. 6 select committee voted 9-0 Thursday to subpoena former president Donald Trump. "It is our obligation to seek Donald Trump's testimony," the panel's chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), said before the vote. "There's precedent in American history for Congress to compel the testimony of a president." Kyle and Nicholas have more. They also took a step back to look at what the panel's final hearing and the subpoena means in the larger scope. "The panel's subpoena dare to Trump is partly premised on its belief that he simply has no defense and wouldn't subject himself to their detailed scrutiny. That belief rests on the fact that virtually every time Trump or his defenders have tried to explain the reasons for his conduct, those arguments withered under scrutiny," they write. The Jan. 6 committee plays truth and dare with Trump, from Kyle and Nicholas BEASLEY BUCKS — Last week it was Senate Democrats bemoaning lack of investment in what they see as winnable races. This week, wallets were opened. The Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer-aligned Senate Majority PAC announced another $4 million investment in North Carolina where Democratic Senate candidate Cheri Beasley faces Republican Rep. Ted Budd. It's the second $4 million injection this week: The first batch was for a TV ad campaign focused on abortion rights and Thursday evening's announcement was for TV ads during the final two weeks leading up to the election on Nov. 8. The move comes after concerns that the party was making investments in other close races and not enough in North Carolina, which Marianne wrote about in-depth last week. TOP ETHICS OFFICIAL CHARGED — Omar Ashmawy, the staff director and chief counsel of the Office of Congressional Ethics, was placed on leave Wednesday after he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and other violations. Yahoo News first reported the incident and Ashmawy's leave. Ashmawy was arrested on Sept. 10 after he drove his car off the road and hit a stop sign, cars and a House in Matamoras, Pennsylvania. He wasn't placed on leave until Yahoo News contacted the Office of Congressional Ethics this week. The OCE is a non-partisan entity that reviews allegations of misconduct involving House staff and lawmakers and refers cases to the House Ethics Committee. The office has jurisdiction to investigate alleged violations of a "law, rule, regulation or other standard of conduct." "We take this matter very seriously and the Board will be reviewing the circumstances surrounding it," Mike Barnes and Paul Vinovich, co-chairmen of the board of the Office of Congressional Ethics, told Yahoo News. "In the meantime, Mr. Ashmawy has been placed on leave to deal with the issues that contributed to this incident. Helen Eisner will serve as the Acting Staff Director during his absence." A spokesperson for the OCE declined to comment beyond what was provided to Yahoo News. NOT MIDWEST NICE IN WISCONSIN — There were boos and jeers in Wisconsin last night as Republican Sen. Ron Johnson and Democratic challenger Mandela Barnes faced off in their final debate before the election. They had the same goal, writes Holly Otterbein, "make their opponent a wholly unacceptable choice to voters." That meant each man painting the other as not backing law enforcement and as being extremist on abortion access. Even when prompted with a softball question meant to lower the temperature, Johnson took a shot. Holly has more. SUMMER LEE SWEATS DOYLE'S DOUBLE — Usually incumbents are the ones running scared. But in Allegheny County Democratic House candidate Summer Lee's campaign is worried that her Republican opponent will get a boost from the outgoing congressman who shares his exact name, reports the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) is retiring and the Republican running to try and flip the seat red, is also named Mike Doyle. Lee's team says voters are confused. "I'm not intentionally trying to confuse anyone," the Republican Doyle said. But Lee's campaign thinks he could do more to differentiate himself from the retiring Democrat. "He could identify as a Republican on his website or his literature. He could use his full name Michael Doyle. He could use a middle initial," Abigail Gardner, Lee's campaign manager told the Post Gazette. "There's so many ways he could clarify who he is and who he isn't if he was honest about his intentions."
